What started the consideration of a Community Center decades ago was the great
need of the COA for space to carry out its multiple functions. That need has
only grown with the growth of the elder population. Why not go back to square
one and disconnect the Athletic Department. Forget Community Center and build a
Senior Center. That opens up all sorts of possibilities including placement
away from the school campus. Surely the stores could benefit from a more
central location of a Senior Center. And it would be a good deal less
expensive to build.

If "Littleton is working on a spacious 2 story senior center with lots
of office space, activity and other dedicated rooms, dining hall etc.
etc for under 15 Million " and their population is around 10,000 and
Wayland has a projected cost of 4.5 million ( from 2018), why is
Lincoln's projected cost $25 million? What am I missing here? We are
talking almost twice the cost of Littleton's center and in todays
dollars at least three times the cost of Waylands. Lincoln used to be a
frugal old Yankee town. I think that is long gone. Why is the projected
cost of Lincoln's so much higher than the surrounding towns? Somebody
smarter than I am may be able to answer that question.
I think also that after spending $98 million on a new school no one is
anxious for the town to take on more debt, especially since interest
rates are rising.
